Pluspunten

The work itself is very interesting and it's amazing seeing how complex the parts we make are and how it all comes together. Work is challenging but not too difficult. Pay is standard compared to defense contractors, not the best but solid.

Minpunten

The business is struggling to acquire contracts so work is dwindling at the Space Park site at an alarming rate with no positive forecast in the future. The site is in a no hire no fire mode right now, which is understandable, but it is making a long term career here both risky in terms of a potential layoffs and limiting career growth in general if you want to climb the ladder. Leadership and upper management also have done a poor job retaining our best talent, most of our best people leave to competititors and the knowledge they have is not being passed down or retained in any way. Being a good employee here is not rewarded so I can't blame them for leaving.

Pluspunten

Job security, nearly impossible to get laid off, Hours for most people are consistent, generally a good benefits package. You are able to jump around laterally within the company very easily. Once you get to T3 and above the salary becomes decent for prime standards. Easy, almost non-existent interviews.

Minpunten

Not moving fast enough in the current defense market. Lots of red-tape. Turnover at specific sites are insanely high. Promotions take forever and the increase in salary is minimal. They don't care about retention. They will let you walk and give your replacement a sign-on bonus and a higher salary. There are a lot of slackers and old timers riding it out till retirement. Only about a 1/3 of this site is actually productive. Yes-men get into management and ignore technical experts. Agile hiring is a huge issue where people are just thrown onto random teams. Easy, almost non-existent interviews allow people without relevant backgrounds to join teams. Every site operates completely differently.
